Starting School Topic

Our Starting School topic has helped us to learn all about the school routines, rules and where to find resources.We have enjoyed listening to the Golden Rules stories and also Come to School Too Blue Kangaroo as part of this topic.

We know what school is like here in Scotland and have been comparing this to the experiences of children starting school in Ghana.

Mrs Coyle visited Ghana during the summer and has been able to tell us about her visit and she even shared her photographs.We especially liked the pictures of Harry the class bear in Ghana and the lizard that Mrs Coyle photographed.

We had a little taste of some Ghanaian food. Rice with vegetables and some mango.

Miss Kingsley cooked the rice for us.

Everybody had a little tub to try.

After the rice we had some mango.

We used our thumbs to let the teachers know what we felt about each food.
